There is no nice way to lose your job, especially during a recession. But, not every "you're fired" is created equal. Here, courtesy of Oddee, are some of the worst—and weirdest—job-loss stories out there:

Waitress canned for cancer cut: After losing her father to cancer, a Canadian woman raised $2700 by shaving her head for the cause. Her employer wasn't moved by her new bald look and she, sadly, was sacked.

Teen fired for Facebook update: OK, so changing your status to "bored at work" isn't so smart. But what exactly was the boss doing on Facebook? Perhaps he was also a tad "bored."

Accountant let go for 'confrontational' caps: Next time you have the urge to write an ANGRY EMAIL to your BOSS, think twice. A woman from New Zealand lost her job for sending emails that used not-so-friendly capital letters and colors.

Man axed for heroic arrest: A waiter from Florida was hailed a hero when he spotted a woman being car-jacked and ran from a restaurant to help. He saved her, but couldn't save his job. His boss wasn't impressed.

I was fired 2 times in my long life. Both times it was the best thing, I ever did. Then I went out and got a better job , for more money.

I once got fired for being too helpful: I waited on a table where the people had been sitting a terribly long time, but it wasn't in my section. The boss fired me. I got a good tip, though.

I actually got fired once, by my own brother. I was away working at a fair (food services and catering) staying with a relative and he said I needed to find coverage otherwise drive home immediately. It WAS my fault but I figured he'd help me out. Anyway needless to say I'm back on with the job and it's a good place to work. They don't mind if you charge the wrong amount or anything by accident. All the free food you want. I love it
